p19Arf suppresses growth, progression, and metastasis of Hras-driven carcinomas through p53-dependent and -independent pathways. by Karen S Kelly-Spratt, Kay E Gurley, Yutaka Yasui, Christopher J Kemp

“…Thus, p19(Arf) inhibits the growth rate of tumors in a p53-independent manner. Through its regulation of p53, p19(Arf) also suppresses malignant conversion and metastasis. p53 expression was upregulated in papillomas from wild-type but not p19( Arf)-null mice, and p53 mutations were more frequently seen in wild-type than in p19( Arf)-null carcinomas. …”
